Notes
It’s best enjoyed fresh but can last for about 3-5 days in the fridge. If you want to keep it longer, consider freezing it in small portions. Let the salsa sit for about 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Customize by adding ingredients like diced mango or black beans.
